In Living Color #2

The Afros - This Jam's For You (In Living Color Closing Credits Performance)

Back atcha!

We return to an episode of In Living Color from May 1991, the closing credits feature The Afros performing "This Jam's For You".

This novelty act consisted of Koot Tee, DJ Kippy O and Hurricane (Beastie Boy's DJ). Their name stood for "A Funky Rhythmic Organization Of Sounds" and as such, were always going to be taken as a 'here today, gone today" concept. Mind you, it was fun while it lasted.

They had an immediate hit at the start of year in "Feel It"; the video of which featured many of the day's hip hop stars joining in the spirit of things, and donning fake afro's (incuding MC Serch!!)

Their lp "Kickin Afrolistics" ended up being too much of the same thing, although "This Jam's...." was one of the better lp tracks.
